December 29, 2024: Chiron turns Direct at Aries 19°00’, 4:13 pm EST.
Chiron is known as The Wounded Healer. In an astrological chart, the position of Chiron describes where and how we experienced our core wound. Transits to Chiron activate healing around that core wound. Stations of Chiron provide an opportunity to attend to a deeper level of healing around our personal and collective wounds.
The wounding is always around abandonment. In Greek myth, Chiron was abandoned at birth by his mother. In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Anubis – the Egyptian ally of Chiron – was also abandoned at birth. Chiron became a teacher and advisor to Zeus. Anubis was destined to be a psychopomp, one who guides the newly deceased into the afterworld. Rituals related to death and the transfer of the soul from this dimensional reality to another were very important to the ancient Egyptians, and Anubis played a key role in this process.
Chiron is currently in Aries – first sign of the Zodiac. Aries represents new beginnings and is associated with a powerful desire to experience life. On a personal level, the Chiron in Aries wound is to our sense of Self. On a collective level, this station of Aries addresses our definition of ourselves as a society. Chiron stays in a sign of the Zodiac for approximately 7 years. Chiron first entered Aries in 2019 and will complete its transit of this sign in 2027. During this time, we are given the opportunity to examine and heal the relationship between who we believe ourselves to be and what we have become.
There is a phrase often heard in healing circles: “the wound is the gift.” Healing from our core wound requires a willingness to dive deep into the truth of our past and understand how that past has defined us. It is only when we willingly release our attachment to our core wound that we can step fully into who it is we are meant to be - our Soul Purpose.
